II Oihanaalii 18

1 A IA ia Iehosapata ka waiwai, a me ka hanohano he nui loa, a kuikahi pu ae la ia me Ahaba.

And Jehoshaphat had riches and honor in abundance, and he intermarried with Achab.

2 A pau ae la kekahi mau makahiki, iho iho la oia ilalo io Ahaba la ma Samaria: a pepebi iho la o Ahaba nana, a na na kanaka me ia i na hipa, a me na bipi he nui loa, a noi ikaika mai ia ia e pii pu me ia i Ramota-Gileada.

And he went down after [some] years to Achab to Samaria. And Achab killed for him sheep and oxen in abundance, and for the people that were with him, and persuaded him to go up to Ramoth-gil'ad.

3 Olelo mai la o Ahaba ke alii o ka Iseraela ia Iehosapata i ke alii o ka Iuda, Aole anei oe e hele pu me au i Ramota-Gileada? I aku la kela, E like me oe pela no au, e like me kou poe kanaka, pela ko'u poe kanaka, o kakou pu ma ke kaua.

Then said Achab the king of Israel unto Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, Wilt thou go with me against Ramoth-gil'ad! And he said to him, I [will be] like thee, and my people [shall be] as thy people; and we will be with thee in the battle.

4 I aku la o Iehosapata i ke alii o ka Iseraela, E ninau oe i ka olelo a Iehova i keia la.

And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Inquire, I pray thee, today [first] of the word of the Lord.

5 Alaila houluulu ae la ke alii o ka Iseraela i na kaula eha haneri kanaka, a olelo aku la ia lakou, E hele anei makou i Ramota-Gileada i ke kaua? a e oki paha? I mai la lakou ia ia, O pii, a na ke Akua ia e haawi mai iloko o ka lima o ke alii.

Then did the king of Israel assemble the prophets, four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall we go to Ramoth-gil'ad to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up, and God will deliver [it] into the hand of the king.

6 Olelo aku la o Iehosapata, Aole anei he kaula e ae o Iehova maanei i ninau kakou ia ia?

And Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the Eternal besides, that we might inquire of him?

7 I mai la ke alii o ka Iseraela ia Iehosapata, Eia no kekahi kanaka i koe ma ona la e imi ai ia Iehova, o Mikaia kona inoa, ke keiki a Imela, aka, he inaina ko'u ia ia; no ka mea, aole i wanana mai ia no'u i ka pomaikai, aka, i ka poino wale no i kona mau la a pau. I aku la o Iehosapata, Mai olelo ke alii pela.

And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, by whom we may inquire of the Lord; but I hate him; for he never prophesieth any good concerning me, but at all times evil: it is Michayhu the son of Yimla. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.

8 Kahea aku la ke alii o ka Iseraela i kekahi o na luna haku, E kii koke oe ia Mikaia ke keiki a Imela.

Then called the king of Israel a certain court-officer, and said, “Hasten hither Michayhu the son of Yimla.”

9 A noho iho la ke alii o ka Iseraela a me Iehosapata ke alii o ka Iuda, kela mea keia mea maluna o kona nohoalii, ua aahu laua i ko laua aahu alii, a noho laua ma kahi akea ma ka puka kahi e komo ai iloko o Samaria; a wanana iho la na kaula a pau imua o laua.

And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah were sitting each on his throne, dressed in their royal garments, and they were sitting in a threshing-floor at the entrance of the gate of Samaria: and all the prophets prophesied before them.

10 A o Zedakia ke keiki a Kenaana, hana iho la ia nona i mau kiwi hao, a olelo mai la, Penei i olelo mai ai o Iehova, Me keia mail mea oe e pahu aku ai i ko Suria, a pau lakou.

And Zedekiah the son of Kena'anah had made himself horns of iron; and he said, Thus hath said the Lord, With these shalt thou push the Syrians until thou have made an end of them.

11 A wanana ae la ka poe kaula a pau loa pela, i mai la, E pii i Ramota-Gileada, a lanakila; ua haawi mai o Iehova ia wahi iloko o ka lima o ke alii.

And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up against Ramoth-gil'ad, and prosper, and the Lord will deliver it into the king's hand.

12 A o ka elele, ka mea i hele ae e kii aku ia Mikaia, olelo aku la oia ia ia, i aku la, Aia hoi, o na olelo a pau a na kaula e wanana ai, hookahi wale no ia, o ka pomaikai no ke alii; i hookahi hoi kau olelo me ka lakou, e olelo oe ma ka pomaikai.

And the messenger that went to call Michayhu spoke to him, saying, Behold, the words of the prophets are with one voice good for the king: so do let thy word, I pray thee, be like [that of] any one of them, and speak something good.

13 I mai la o Mikaia, Ma ke ola o Iehova, o na mea a ko'u Akua i olelo mai ai, oia ka'u o olelo aku ai.

And Michayhu said, As the Lord liveth, truly what my God may say, that will I speak.

14 A hiki ia i ke alii, olelo ke alii ia ia, E Mikaia, e pii anei makou i Ramota-Gileada, i ke kaua? a e oki paha? I mai kela, E pii, e pomaikai, a e haawiia ua poe la iloko o ko olua lima.

And when he was come to the king, the king said unto him, Michah, shall we go to Ramoth-gil'ad to battle, or shall I forbear? And he said, Go ye up, and prosper, and may they be delivered into your hand.

15 Olelo aku la ke alii ia ia, Ehia la ka'u mau kauoha hoohiki aku ia oe, i ole oe e olelo mai ia'u i ka mea e, i ka mea oiaio wale no, ma ka inoa o Iehova?

And the king said to him, How many times yet must I adjure thee that thou shalt not speak to me any thing but the truth in the name of the Lord?

16 I mai la kela, Ua ike au i ka Iseraela a pau e auwana ana ma na mauna e like me na hipa kahu ole; olelo mai o Iehova, aole o lakou haku, e hoi kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona hale iho me ka maluhia.

Then said he, I saw all Israel scattered over the mountains, as flocks that have not a shepherd: and the Lord said, These have no master; let them return every man to his house in peace.

17 I aku la ke alii o ka Iseraela ia Iehosapata, Aole anei au i olelo aku ia oe, aole wanana mai kela no'u i ka pomaikai, aka, i ka poino wale no?

And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not say unto thee that he would not prophesy concerning me any good, but [only] for evil?

18 I mai la ke kaula, No ia mea, e hoolohe mai oe i ka olelo a Iehova; ua ike au ia Iehova e noho ana maluna o kona nohoalii, a o ka poe koa a pau o na lani e ku ana ma kona lima akau, a me kona lima hema.

And he said, Therefore hear ye the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing on his right and his left.

19 Olelo ae la o Iehova, Owai la ka mea e hoowalewale ia Ahaba ke alii o ka Iseraela i pii aku oia a make ma Ramota-Gileada? Olelo ae la kekahi peneia, a o kekahi hoi peneia.

And the Lord said, Who will persuade Achab the king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-gil'ad? And one said—one saying after this manner, and another saying after that manner.

20 Alaila, hiki mai kekahi uhane, a ku ae la imua o Iehova, a olelo aku la ia, Owau ke hoowalewale ia ia. I ae la o Iehova, Pehea?

Then came there forth a spirit, and placed himself before the Lord, and said, I will persuade him. And the Lord said unto him, Wherewith?

21 I aku la kela, E hele au a e lilo au i uhane wahahee iloko o na waha o kona poe kaula a pau. I ae la o Iehova, E hoowalewale oe, a e lanakila hoi; e hele oe a hana no pela.

And he said, I will go forth, and I will become a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou wilt persuade him, and also prevail: go forth, and do so.

22 Ano hoi, ua haawi mai o Iehova i ka uhane wahahee iloko o ka waha o keia poe kaula au, a o Iehova hoi ua olelo mai oia nau i ka poino.

And now, behold, the Lord hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of these thy prophets: but the Lord hath spoken evil concerning thee.

23 Alaila, hookokoke o Zedakia ke keiki a Kenaana, a kui mai ia Mikaia ma ka papalina, me ka i ana mai, Ma ka aoao hea i hele ai ka uhane o Iehova mai o'u aku nei e olelo aku ia oe.

And Zedekiah the son of Kena'anah went near, and struck Michayhu on the cheek, and said, Which is the way the Spirit of the Lord passed away from me to speak with thee?

24 I aku la o Mikaia, E ike auanei oe, i ka la e komo ai oe iloko o ke keena iloko, e pee iho.

And Michayhu said, Behold, thou shalt see it on that day when thou shalt go into the innermost chamber to hide thyself.

25 Olelo aku la ke alii o ka Iseraela, E lawe oukou ia Mikaia, a e hoihoi ia ia io Amona la i ka luna iloko o ke kulanakauhale, a ia Ioasa ke keiki a ke alii.

And the king of Israel said, Take ye Michayhu, and carry him back unto Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king's son;

26 E olelo aku ia laua penei, Ua i mai la ke alii, e hookomo i keia kanaka iloko o ka hale paahao, a e hanai ia ia i ka berena o ka pilikia a me ka wai o ka pilikia, a hoi mai au me ka maluhia.

And say ye, Thus hath said the king, Put this man in the prison, and feed him with sparing bread and with sparing water, until I return in peace.

27 I aku la o Mikaia, Ina e hoi io mai oe me ka maluhia, aole o Iehova i olelo mai ma o'u nei. Olelo aku la ia, E hoolohe oukou, e na kanaka a pau.

And Michayhu said, If thou return at all in peace, then hath the Lord not spoken through me. And he said, Hear it, O all ye nations!

28 Alaila pii aku la ke alii o ka Iseraela, a me Iehosapata, ke alii o ka Iuda, i Ramota-Gileada.

And the king of Israel went up with Jehoshaphat the king of Judah to Ramoth-gil'ad.

29 Olelo mai la ke alii o ka Iseraela ia Iehosapata, E huna au ia'u iho, a e komo iloko o ke kaua, aka, e komo oe i kou kapa alii. A huna iho ke alii o ka Iseraela ia ia iho, a komo iloko o ke kaua.

And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and enter into the battle; but do thou put on thy royal garments. And the king of Israel disguised himself, and they went into the battle.

30 Ua kauoha ke alii o Suria i na luna o kona mau hale kaa, i aku la, Mai kaua aku i kekahi mea uuku, aole i kekahi mea nui, i ke alii o ka Iseraela wale no.

And the king of Syria had commanded the captains of the chariots that he had, saying, Fight ye not with the small or with the great, save only with the king of Israel alone.

31 A ike mai na luna o na hale kaa ia Iehosapata, i iho la lakou, O ke alii ia o ka Iseraela: a puana mai la lakou ia ia a puni e kaua mai ia ia; aka, kahea aku la o Iehosapata, a kokua mai o Iehova ia ia, a hoohuli ae la ke Akua ia lakou mai ona'ku.

And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, This is the king of Israel. And they encompassed him to fight; and Jehoshaphat cried out, and the Lord helped him; and God induced them to go away from him.

32 Ike mai la na luna o na hale kaa, aole ke alii ia o ka Iseraela, huli ae la lakou mai ona aku la.

And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from following him.

33 A pana wale mai la kekahi kanaka me kana kakaka, a ku i ke alii o ka Iseraela ma kahi ami o kona paleumauma; a olelo oia i ka mea nana e malama i kona hale kaa, E huli ae kou lima, a e lawe ia'u mai ke kaua aku, no ka mea, ua eha au.

But a certain man drew his bow at a venture, and struck the king of Israel between the joints and the armor: wherefore he said to the chariot-driver, Turn about, and carry me out of the camp; for I am wounded.

34 Mahuahua ae la ke kaua ia la; aka, noho iho la ke alii o ka Iseraela iloko o kona hale kaa, e ku e i ko Suria, a ahiahi; a i ka napoo ana o ka la, make iho la ia.

And the battle increased on that day: and the king of Israel stayed [himself] up in the chariot against the Syrians until the evening, and he died at the time of the sun's going down.
